LP Gas Consumption
Most gas appliances are operated intermittently. Unless there is heavy use of hot water, water
heater consumption of LP gas is minimal. During freezing weather and high wind conditions,
furnace consumption can be extremely high.
LP gas consumption depends upon individual use of appliances and the length of time operated.
Each gallon of LP gas produces about 91,500 (96,530) of heat energy. Following is a list of typical
appliance consumption when turned on fully for one hour of operation:
Appliance
Average Consumption
BTU Per Hour
Average Consumption
Kilojoules Per Hour
Slide-in Cooktop - 3 burner
22,000
23,200
Range w/Oven
29,100
30,700
Furnace
25,000 - 31,000
26,375 - 32,700
Refrigerator

1,270 to 1,580
Water Heater

NOTE: The previous chart is an example of a typical system and may not represent the
exact system in your particular vehicle.
LP DETECTOR
All recreation vehicles with an LP gas system with LP gas consuming appliances require a LP gas
leak detection device for safety protection. A converter or auxiliary battery is required to supply
12-volt DC energy to operate leak detector.
Operation
Power ON Warm Up: When power is first applied the yellow LED will flash for three minutes
while the detector is warming up. At the end of that time the LED will turn Green indicating full
operation. If the detector has detected unsafe levels of gas it will immediately go into alarm.
#
CAUTION: This detector cannot alarm during the three minute warm up cycle.
TESTING
y
WARNING: Test the operation of this detector after the vehicle has been in storage,
before each trip and at least once per week during use.
Press "the TEST switch" (Fig. 4-28) any time during the
warm up cycle or while in normal operation. The LED
should flash RED and the alarm should sound. Release
the switch. This is the only way you should test your
detector. This test feature checks the full operation of the
detector. If this detector does not test properly return the
detector immediately for repair or replacement.
